I actually knew the original owner in Islamorada. It's a sweet boat.

Is 400 ponies really necessary on these boats or is it just a Florida thing were you sometimes see 200 hp motors on 18' skiffs? I saw many 23' Jones Brothers on Harkers Island with single 150 hp on the transom and although they obviously don't have g force power, I spoke to a couple of owners and they were satisfied and claim the power was both sufficient and efficient.

Some folks just like the speed and some folks fish so far offshore that the speed is really useful .

A 23 doesn't need 400 hp, but it does need more than a Jones Brothers. Lots of them out there with 225s, even some 200s, but that is getting a bit light for the hull design.

Some of us down here in FLA do a lot of running and gunning for fishing. Its gotta be a blast to drive. Bahamas is also 50-60 miles due East. Boat was rated for this kind of power but the truth is, I have a single 200 HPDI and pushes my 23' cc nicely.

Damn birds and weedlines......

Looks like a well loved vessel. Good luck with the sale.

Price reduced to $17,900

So, I spoke with Ken last night and not one call on this boat from CSC. I wanted to make sure the people on CSC saw this because one of us should have this boat. Someone please make him an offer before I buy a 2nd 23' and a divorce!

Any thoughts?

As I mentioned earlier I know the owners, they used to run this boat to the Bahamas and back on a regular basis, however age catches up to all of us. IMHO the original price was kinda high. No T-top, no electronics, 16 year old engines and surprisingly a boat who's home was Islamorada no rigging for trolling. Hopefully the price drop gets some attention!! I know it's not been used hardly at all in four or five years, just parked in the garage.

Agreed Don. Boat has not been used in years. Someone should make them an offer but a lot of guys up North are looking for snow plows, not boats like us Florida boys!
